You are correct that Pearson is not suitable for GA airplanes. City
Center is very conveniently located to downtown. You take a short ferry
and are you in the heart of downtown. The subway does not run to the
Pearon airport. But you should be able to take the subway to a stop
closer to the airport and then take a taxi. A taxi ride from city center
to Pearson would be about $40 or $50. Here is a link to the airport
facilities: http://www.torontoport.com/PortAutho...rt_tenants.asp

I can't help with the hotel info near Pearson, but I have
flown into City Centre. This is a great airport to fly into
when going to Toronto. It's right in Toronto and you take
a cool little ferry about 1 minute to get to the "mainland". ; )
I suggest going to a pilot shop and grabbing the Canadian
Supplement book(I think it's called). It lists all the FBO's
and their info. I can look up the number in my old book
if you'd like. I've never flown into Pearson, but everyone
I know that has says it's a hassle and they don't care for
small planes.

I need to fly up to Toronto from NY State next Friday AM for a day-

long
business meeting. This will be my first flight into Canada so I am
reviewing the AOPA Canadian/US flight requirements, however I do need
some local advice.

The business meeting is located at a hotel near Pearson International
Airport, but I was told that flying into Toronto/City Centre airport

is
much more practical for GA aircraft. Is this true? If so, what

would
be the best way to get to a hotel near Pearson, cab or shuttle?

Also, is there a contact number for the FBO at this airport? I tried
searching the web, but I was unable to locate an AirNav.com

equivalent
for Canadian airports.
